Tax-Free Savings Account
A Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) is a savings option that does not apply tax to the growth earned by the investment. This is unique from traditional savings accounts that does charge tax on the growth. Even in a Retirement Savings Plan (RSP) the growth is taxed when the money is withdrawn from the RSP. With a TFSA, no matter how much the investments earn, the growth will never be taxed.Annual limit contribution: $6,500 per year*
